khandvi recipe | how to make gujarati khandvi in pressure cooker with detailed photo and video recipe. a popular gujarati cuisine savoury snack recipe prepared from besan or chickpea flour with butter milk / curd / yogurt and other indian spices. this favourite gujarati snack is also known as pataudi or dahivadi and in marathi it is known as suralichi vadi or patuli.
well i have to admit that khandvi was not an easy recipe for me. i had tried this recipe thrice and all were failure. until i met with my friend rangoli’s mother in law last week. she is from gujarat and i asked her to share the recipe with exact proportions. also i was lucky enough to get the demonstration from her which really helped me to cook this recipe. more importantly, she shared the pressure cooker recipe which was quite easy enough to prepare. on my previous attempts, i use to prepare this in open pan and i was somehow missing the consistency. khandvi can also be prepared in 5 minutes by cooking in microwave. also, remember to stir twice in between with help of a whisk after every 1 or 1½ minutes.
furthermore, some important tips for a perfect non sticky khandvi snack recipe. firstly, i used the buttermilk in this recipe which i prepared by mixing 1 cup of curd / yogurt with 1 cup of water. preferably slightly sour curd or buttermilk is ideal for this recipe. secondly, once the besan mixture is cooked in pressure cooker, start spreading it in plate immediately. once it cools down it would be difficult to spread it. lastly, if you are planning to prepare this recipe in non stick pan, than you have continuously stir it till it becomes thick. you may have to stir it continuously for about 7-9 minutes. instead of spreading khandvi paste on plate, you can also spread it on oven tray or smooth kitchen slab or on glass table.
finally, i would like to highlight my other starter recipes collection and snack recipes collection. particularly, dhokla recipe, sev tomato nu shaak, kutchi dabeli, vada pav, onion pakoda, pav bhaji and bhel puri recipe. in addition do visit my other recipe collection boards like,
